The Prologue

It was a breezy November day. 16 year old Kari Kamiya was lazily moving through her apartment desperate for something to relieve her boredom. Kari was head cheerleader at Odaiba High School. She got good grades and had a lot of friends. Her brother Tai was at soccer practice and her parents were at work.

'Watching paint dry is more exciting than this place.' She thought.

She thought about watching TV but decided against it as it would be nothing but stupid vampire shows. After a few minutes of just aimlessly walking around, she put on her shoes, grabbed her keys and drove to her boyfriend TK Takashi's apartment. TK was Odaiba High School's star basketball player. He was a model student, helped with all the school fund raisers. To most people he seemed happy. But only his close friends knew the truth. TK's mother was an alcoholic. She started drinking when she and TK's father divorced. She would come home most nights after work completely hammered and TK was left to take care of her. He would sometimes miss school because he had to stay home with her. Kari was the only one he ever told how upset it makes him.

As she pulled up to his apartment building, Kari quickly checked her makeup in the rear-view mirror. She made her way up the two flights of stairs and knocked on their front door. Luckily, TK answered. See, his mother didn't really like Kari too much and if she had answered the door, she would have slammed it in Kari's face.

"Hey Kar. What brings you here?" TK asked.

"I have to have a reason to come and see my boyfriend?" She replied, giving him a soft kiss.

Before TK could reply, his mother walked in between them and out into the hallway.

"Don't wait up for me Takeru. I have a date tonight and if it goes well enough I won't be back until tomorrow morning." His mother said but not before giving Kari her usual look of disapproval.

"Um, okay mom." TK said looking at the floor.

Once she was gone, TK and Kari made their way into the living room. They snuggled up on the couch and turned on the TV though neither of them was really watching it. Kari grabbed the remote and turned the volume down a little bit.

"I know you're upset about what your mom said." Kari said.

"Not really. I'm used to it." TK shrugged.

"TK, it's me. You can talk to me about this. You know I won't judge you."

He sighed and taking the remote from her turned the TV off. He adjusted his position so that he was face to face with her.

"I know. It's just that I get so mad sometimes. I mean why can't I have a mom that isn't always drunk? Why can't I have a mom who remembers my god damn birthday?" TK was getting angry like he always does when he opens up like this. He got up and paced a little before turning back to Kari. "Why can't I have a fucking mom that actually loves me?"

Kari got up from the couch and wrapped her arms around TK. (A/N: Which couldn't be easy because he's a four inches taller than her.) She brought him back down onto the couch and just held him for a while. When TK finally calmed down he leaned back to look at Kari. She stared back at him and they immediately attacked each other's lips. She brought TK down on top of her as he started sucking on her neck. She knew that she would have a set of marks to explain to Tai now but she didn't care. All that mattered was making TK feel better. And by the feeling of something poking her thigh, she knew she was succeeding.

"TK…" Kari sighed.

He took that as a sign to stop and he started to get off her. But she pulled him back down onto her. Puzzled, TK shook his head.

"Kari? What are you-"

"Shh. It's okay."

"What?"

"Don't stop. I want you TK." She took his hands and placed them on her chest.

TK gave her a shocked look. They had never done anything other than kiss before.

"Kari, are you sure?" He gave her a serious look.

"I've never been surer of anything in my life. I love you TK."

TK kissed her lips with passion yet still the kiss was tender and loving.

"I love you too, Kari."

Their tongues fought for dominance as he lifted her up bridal style and carried her to his bedroom, never breaking the kiss. He set her down on the bed and shut his bedroom door.
